OUR SCHOOL - COMMITTED TO QUALITY AND EXPECTING THE BEST FROM EVERY STUDENT

HOLSWORTHY HIGH SCHOOL Website: http://www.holsworthy-h.schools.nsw.edu.au

I am writing this report from a conference for the Secondary Principals and have just been spoken to by the Minister of Education who outlined the reforms undertaken by the government with the support of all the teaching service and the teacher's union. These reforms are extremely significant and will generate real change in the our schools.

There has been a great deal of media interest in reforms to teaching standards and the expectation of the behaviour students must display at school. The Minister has again reinforced his commitment to ensuring that students who do distract their peers from learning or their teachers from teaching will be excluded.

Those parents who have been with us for a long period of time understand that Holsworthy High has always been strong on discipline. However, we also have been strong on supporting students who because of circumstances, lose their way for a short period of time. It is this discipline coupled with welfare that allows us to help so many of our troubled students maintain their place at our school. We do this by making the

management of the school as predictable as possible. By knowing what will happen when you act in a certain way empowers our students to take control of their life. We do this because we want everyone to leave HHS with the best grades they can get. We want them to understand that it is their choice of behaviour that determines this. We want all our students to be the best they can be.

I often ask students 'what does consequence mean?' Usually the reply is ‘the trouble you get into when you muck up!’ This is understandable but wrong. Consequences are just what happens when you do something, it's what follows actions, when you do something - something happens! So we want the students to get the consequences that help them succeed at school and in life after school. We need them to understand the link between what they do and what they achieve.

We are almost at the end of our reporting period and I know you will go through your children's reports with them. What I would ask you do in

NEWSWORTHY Page 2

particular is to go through their personal profiles, the eight 'behaviour' factors the teachers report on. Ask your child to explain what these mean. I would love every child to get ‘Always’ in every one of these categories. If that occurred we would be a perfect school. But I know no one is perfect. It is not humanly possible but we should all be able to get most of these ratings at the 'Always' level and there is no reason to have any rating below 'Usually'.

The reason I concentrate on this result, and I know the teachers also focus on this, is we know that the effort being made is reflected in these scores and it is well established that effort is the measure of how much you are being the best you can be. This is not reflected in grades, we do not all have the same gifts but we can all be the best we can be.

I mentioned above that we need to understand that consequences are just the things that follow actions. If we all - always do our best then we build a bank of positive memories about ourselves and those positive memories build confidence in our students to imagine a bright and successful future.

 

 

Parent Informa on 

 

Every year we are asked to up-date our records. Part of this

up-date is to register each child’s parent’s level of

education and their employment status.

This information is used to determine part of our financial

allocation for the year.

I understand that some of this information is sensitive and I

can assure you that any details are held in confidence.

If your circumstances have changed since you enrolled

your child at Holsworthy High could you please contact the

school as soon as possible so we can adjust our records.

As Deputy Principal I was happy to take the Holsworthy High School Captains to an Audience with the Prime Minister on Friday 5.6.15. While this event is reported elsewhere in this issue of Newsworthy I would like to commend the Captains on their consistently outstanding demeanour and presentation. A number of schools and community groups were represented at the function and the students gained a unique insight into life in the public eye. I expect that their understanding of leadership will be impacted in a positive fashion from the experience regardless of their political ideology or understanding.

On a recent excursion with the Year 12 students into Pyrmont to study Urban Dynamics for Senior Geography, I was impressed by the group’s appearance, attitude and supportive communication. With the advent of Social Media and technology it is easy for school students, and indeed schools, to be misrepresented by a disgruntled minority or community members with inaccurate or misconstrued concerns. The best communication with school based concerns remain the Year Advisors, Head Teachers and Deputy Principals at the school. Often, as with much of the media, social media can focus on the sensational and neglect the prevailing character of those concerned. It can give a voice to community members that may not have the best interests of students at heart. At Holsworthy High School the overwhelming performance of the students, both at school and in the community, is commendable. I would like to use this platform to thank the staff members involved in the Holsworthy High School Facebook page, Newsworthy and Skoolbag that have actively encouraged a more accurate view of our students in the wider community. Ms. Pardalis and Ms. Renneberg, with the support of many, have coordinated this excellent effort at community partnership.

Continuing on the Social Media front it is useful for parents to be aware of the Holsworthy High School Policy that prevents students from capturing and posting images of students and teachers on Social Media. While not strictly against the community law it is not acceptable at school. Geotagging, Parents involved in the Armed Forces and Workplace Safety are all considerations in these matters. Student safety remains the school’s primary concern here.

As is commonly the fact, the staff and students work consistently towards quality teaching and learning across all faculties. This remains the core business of Holsworthy High School. The continuing focus on Quality Teaching, Relationship, Structure and Expectation enables an array of learning opportunities for students and staff. These activities are complimented by a range of extra curricula activities that foster the social development of the students involved. Of particular note in recent weeks have been the Regional Dance Festival and Cross Network Rehearsals (Ms. Forbes and Ms. Grant), the Student Leadership Program (Mr. Spyroulias), Aboriginal Student Mentoring (Ms. Bentley), Peer Support (Ms. Erdmann and Mr. Sampson), and Wizz it Up enrichment activities (Ms. Bell and Ms. Mikhail). These activities have been supplemented by a range of sporting activities that are supported by many staff under the guidance of Ms. Baxter and Mr. Sampson.

In the coming weeks, the majority of students will be issued with their Half Yearly Reports. Please support your child by taking an active interest in their Student Responsibilities in particular. These responsibilities relate to the transportable skills around organisation and effort. They are my favourite part of our reports. Good scores in these domains ensure academic and social growth. Poor scores give the students a definite focus and pathway for improvement.

Regards, Timothy Grew Deputy Principal Holsworthy High School

‐ Years 8, 10 and 12 

As this goes out, all the junior years have finished their exams and teachers are busy doing their reports. Students should be ensuring their books are up to date and all assessments have been completed. Later in the term students will have the opportunity to sit down with either their Year Advisers or Deputy and discuss their results and progress.

It is important parents remember that if students miss an assessment task they must go immediately, on return to school, to the Head Teacher of the subject with their doctor’s certificate to reschedule the assessment. If they don’t do this they will get zero for their task. If they get an N-Award Warning letter they must still do the task. If a second warning is given and the task is still not done then an N Award can be issued and the student does not qualify for that subject. All results for Years 10, 11 and 12 appear on the student’s ROSA at the HSC or Statement of Attainment if they leave school before the HSC. Usually a missed assessment task will result in a drop of one grade.

Over the holidays we had the Learning Centre and Maths blocks painted. Life Technology have had two of their classrooms refurbished away from open plan to classrooms, that can be closed off, leading to a much quieter working environment. The Textiles room has had a vinyl floor laid to stop pins getting into the carpet.

Once again we had a successful parent teacher night in May. It was good to see so many parents and students attending to make the night a success. It is always a good opportunity to get to know your child’s teachers and find how your students is going.

At Holsworthy we strive to ensure students wear the correct uniform and with the colder weather it is a good time to reinforce this with students. All the support from home on this matter is welcomed. Generally nearly all students are in uniform.

Our extension classes are going well with the teachers on class meeting regularly to look at ways they can enhance the experiences of the students. We have once again interest in the Extension class for 2016 and will be notifying parents about the testing for it shortly. There is still room for more entrants to the exams if Year 6 parents are still making up their minds.

Year 8 will also have their subject selections next term and need to think about which electives they may choose to do. Remember always choose the elective that interests you, not just because your friends are doing it or for the teacher taking the subject.

Year 12 only have a short time left in school, about 9 weeks, when exams are undertaken next term. It is important they use the time remaining to focus on improving the areas they are weak in to get the best results possible. Their final exams are not that far away. Year 12 should be studying and revising 2 hours a night at least.

In Year 10, students are now in their ROSA years and must be mindful to complete all work and be sure their attendance does not drop below 85%. Students must bring a note to school or parents must message the school if students are absent for any reason. Where students are away for more than three days parents should let us know the reason. The results of their Year 10 are placed on the ROSA Certificate and when the student leaves school in Year 12 they receive the ROSA Testamur. Year 10 should also be thinking of what subjects they wish to take in Year 11, whether they are pursuing ATAR subjects for entry to university or subjects to get a HSC and go into the workplace or an apprenticeship. Now is the time to talk to teachers, family and friends about which subjects you may wish to take.

Holsworthy High School Captains meet the Prime Minister

On Friday the 5th of June, 2015, Holsworthy High School Captains were the guests of the Federal Member for Hughes Mr. Craig Kelly. The students attended Club Central Menai to be part of an audience with the Prime Minister Mr. Tony Abbott. The Captains found this to be an exciting function and were lucky enough to be able to speak briefly with Mr. Abbott and share in a photo opportunity.

The students found Mr. Abbott to be engaging and respectful in person and were impressed by a speech Mr. Abbott shared. In particular, Mr. Abbott discussed National Security, the Terror Threat and the benefits of the 2015 Budget for working Australians and small business. Unfortunately, while the students had prepared some hard hitting questions for the Prime Minister, there was limited time and access to the Nation’s Leader. Regardless, it was an excellent opportunity to meet Mr. Abbott and Mr. Kelly and another step in developing the leadership potential of our students.

As always, The Captains represented Holsworthy High School with skill and style.

Enrichment Students Compete in the “Wizz it Up” Competition

On Wednesday the 27th of May, 11 children in Year 7 and Year 8 went to a competition at Thomas Reddell High school where we competed for 1st, 2nd and 3rd prize. We were in 2 teams, one of girls and the other of boys. We used our mind to complete 300 questions of Maths and Science, as well as multiple comprehension and English questions.

We also had to work out the height of their school hall and to make a contraption that had the ability to catch a softball and a European handball, dropped from both 1 metre and 2 metres high.

The tests we were given were challenging and really made us use our minds. Teamwork was really important considering that there were multiple difficult questions that we had to complete in a short amount of time.

The boys came home with 2nd place in the trivia contest. We all had a great time participating at this prestigious event and would like to thanks Ms. Bell and Ms. Mikhail for their efforts in organisation of the day. It was an excellent opportunity for students from the Enrichment Classes to take a different approach to learning for the day.

At the end of Term 2 students in Years 7-9 HSIE will finish their subjects for semester 1 and then change to Geography or History for semester 2. A new book should be purchased to be organised for the start of Term 3.

Year 9 History excursion – 15th May to Liverpool Regional Museum and Kokoda Memorial Walk Concord Year 9 History students visited the Liverpool Regional Museum to learn more about the history of the local area including the World War I internment camp which was located on the site of the army barracks today. Our tour guide, Donna, described the experiences of civilians of German origin, or ‘enemy aliens’ as they were labelled at the time. The men were removed from their families and kept as prisoners at the camp for the duration of the war. The museum has a range of information about the local area as well as photos and other exhibits including clothing worn by the inmates, items of furniture used and other household items.

Students then travelled to Concord to the Kokoda Memorial Walk where they gained an understanding of the experiences of Australian soldiers in Papua New Guinea during World War II. Tour guides, Reg and Roy who are both Kokoda veterans described the hardship and suffering of the soldiers during the

campaign. The students showed great interest during the excursion and were able to ask interesting and perceptive questions. Thanks to the organising teacher, Ms Bentley and to Ms Leetham for her assistance on the day. All students were extremely well behaved and deserve to be congratulated.

HSC preparation – Year 12 students are reminded and encouraged to access the following resources in preparation for their trial HSC exams next term: BOSTES resources – use past HSC

exam papers Also on the BOSTES website is a

link called ‘ARC – Assessment Resource Centre’ – you can gain access to a bank of multiple choice questions (Online Multiple Choice)

HSC Online – this website contains study notes some topics

All Year students are encouraged to submit essay practice to their class teacher for feedback. This is a valuable revision exercise in preparation for the HSC.

Year 12 Society and Culture The completed Personal Interest Project is due early in Term 3 and students should be making substantial progress with their major work at this stage. The July school holidays should be used to edit and refine the PIP to achieve the best result possible. Any questions can be directed to the teacher during class or via the DEC portal email. The completed PIP will be submitted to the Board of Studies for external marking.

HolsworthyHighSchoolYear9Historyexcursion

LiverpoolRegionalMuseum&KokodaTrackMemorial

Walkway,Concord. On the 15th of May, 2015, Year 9 Holsworthy High School History attended an excursion to learn more about the topics they have been studying - WWI and WWII.

The first part of the excursion was to the Liverpool Regional Museum. This museum provided a great insight into learning more about what Holsworthy had been like at the time the First World War broke out and during the Second World War. There were two parts to the museum for the students; two groups were made and split into different areas. One area was an informative session by one of the museum attendees, and the other section of the museum was an exhibition of various

items with information attached to them. At the end of the visit, we were handed an optional booklet on soldiers who had fought for Australia titled ‘Our Liverpool boys’. The staff who assisted us kindly answered questions and were generally very helpful to the students.

The next part of the excursion was to the Kokoda Track Memorial Walkway, Concord. The first part of this tour was a short explanation on where Kokoda was and what it was, as well as why it was so important. The tour was comprised of the students being split into two groups and taken on a short walk tour by two tour guides, these two guides were both World War II veterans who had fought at Kokoda. They had directed us along a path stopping at various plaques that contained information explaining different aspects. The men had explained these to us in more detail, including from their perspective and personal experiences. The overall atmosphere of the memorial walkway was very valuable and informative, and the two men who directed us were fascinating to listen to and were happy to answer any questions we had.

The excursion was very informative about what Australians have done to contribute to World Wars I and II as well as contributing to the ANZAC spirit. These two places are great places as sources in a study of WW1 and WWII, and provide great insight on what happened when, why, and how.

Defence Transition Mentor June

Winter has really snuck up on us and has let us know we are in for some really cold days. I would like to remind you there are sloppy joes and jackets available in the second hand uniform shop in the front office available to purchase at very low prices.

With continuing with the ANZAC Centenary theme, the Year 9 history students attended an excursion to the Liverpool Regional History Museum and the Kokoda Memorial Walkway on 15 May 15. Students were divided into groups at the Museum and were given a presentation on the German Internment Camp at Holsworthy and were able to view items from 100 years ago. From there the students were transported to the Kokoda Memorial Walkway, Concord and were hosted by our World War Two friends – Reg and Roy who gave first-hand accounts of the WW2 campaign in Papua New Guinea. We are very fortunate to have Reg and Roy to offer their time to impart their knowledge to our students.

I am pleased to announce that our school Remembrance Garden has been added to the Register of War Memorials at the State Library. Currently the garden has been listed to remember local World War 1 veterans and we will be adding to the memorial in time for Remembrance Day this year to include the Afghanistan Campaign. www.warmemorialregister.nsw.gov.au/content/holsworthy-high-school-memorial-garden

At the end of week 6, Year 7 students had their pizza lunch where they were able to invite and host a friend. It was lovely to see the support of their friends and good company in which they have established. Andy Smith (Yr 11 Defence Student) is currently undergoing the Max Potential Program and has decided as a part of his community obligation, he would like to be of assistance with Yr 7 Defence students by offering them a student mentoring program. At

the lunch Andy asked the students to complete a survey on things that matter most to them as a junior student. Andy has compiled that information and is now working forward to implement the mentoring program next term. Listen on assembly for further announcements.

Defence Community Organisation (DCO) is calling for Expressions of Interest to attend a Deployed Support Function for Families. This free event will take place on Sunday 21 Jun 15 at the Australian Maritime Museum. Please indicate your interest to matthew.cleary@defence.gov.au

I would like to acknowledge the sporting achievement of Erin Howlett in Year 10. Erin has been training hard over the last year with combining Cross Fit classes with weight training session.

All students in Year 12 have now received their Half Yearly reports. You have worked well and have achieved some great results . Overall the year has done an amazing job. Students have participated in study skills workshops. These were run by Ms Forbes, Ms Pardalis and Mr Slater. It gave students an opportunity to harness study and time management skills. Everyone received a booklets and study planners to guide them through their Trials and HSC exams. Year 12 students had the opportunity to participate in a Year 12 overnight zoo experience. What a great and unique adventure. I would like to thank all the students and teachers who made this possible. Holsworthy High has enjoyed great success through the Zone Swimming and Cross Country and members of the baseball team. Well done to all involved. Last week I had the honour to take the School Captains Cally Mezen and Clayton Hopper to the School Leaders Program. They did the school proud by meeting members of Parliament and then had the opportunity to have a meeting with David Hurley, the Governor of NSW at Government House. Did you know that the current Governor was in the defence force for 42 years and he had lived in Hammondville throughout his service. So, the HSC is fast approaching. I encourage all Year 12 to take part in any opportunities they are given.

I am extremely proud of the students who attended the HSC Expo and other university lectures. I would also like to thank all the mentors who worked tirelessly with the students to help them through this stressful time. The finish line is almost upon us, but you still need to work hard to maintain a study timetable and try to improve your results from the Half Yearly. Then you will be able to reap the re-wards which will come from your dedication, hard work and sacrifice. Remember, if you feel overwhelmed or stressed please come and talk to any member of staff. Finally, just a final reminder that you all have received invoices. The Formal ticket must be paid for by June 26.
